i know this is going to sound crazy..but all my problems come from having a human body...these hormones go up and down , one day i want soemthing , then the next i dont ..and the insecurity gets in my way...i see only love in almost anything , until the stupid ego comes saying "you are sooooo stupid for thinking so, go ahead and try to be better than soemone else , you are not good enough"we all judge for what see at that moment ..and miss out on many oprtunities because of limited thinking ..soemtimes i just want out of this body , but not to go into a new one...but to freely be myself and not just human ..does this happen to you?

Aristotle stated 'Happiness is the only pleasure we seek for its own sake'. Through all actions, tasks and daily routines; we are seeking happiness. It is the sole emotion which tops all others, and drives us in so many different ways to achieve it.

Everyone has their own unique temporary solution to the problem of how to achieve happiness. Whether it's eating choclate or talking with a loved one. However true happiness must surely be from an internal source, rather than external factors.

What is it you do to temporarily solve the problem of happiness? How do you manage your mind to achieve that state?

MOST IMPORTANTLY; Is there a united way in which all humans seek happiness? Is there an ultimate source? Is there an ideal economic or social system, or way of living?

Is the ultimate way to constantly develop? Do we develop not for the end result, as wants are infinite - but simply to feel content?

Structure your answer, and take your time to solve the problem of human happiness.

minus death as an answer, I think it it is perpetuation of egos will to live regardless, confronted with the awareness of our powerlessness to have that control i.e. answer to the question. To be is our only option. To not is to avoid GOD. The unknowable. i'm unknowable?

I really need guidance to help my sanity. My friend has been very clingy in the past few weeks because his life is basically falling apart. Heres a list of things that has happened to him:

1. His father passed away when he was in high school
2. His mom just had surgery
3. He just got kicked out of college
4. The girl he loves doesn't love him back

Every time I see him these are the only subjects he talks about. I tried being the good friend by listening to his problems but hell it gets really tiresome. I feel like crap afterwards and I start to feel depressed. I want to tell him to shut up but that will only further hurt him because in the past year we have developed a pretty close relationship. The problem is that I want to enjoy life but he seems to bring it down for me. What can I do to save my friendship without being a total a s s hole? Also I am getting tired of seeing him...I want to tell him I need space but he has no one to turn to.

I am raising it as a philosophic question related to way of life, rather than a business management issue.

If you saw someone flying without using any technology what would you do? And how would that affect your thoughts about reality?

If you watched the show Planet in Perail, it was a real eye opener. I mean really what happens when the humans become so populated there is no more room to live on. Or when we destory the Ozone layer, or cuase global warming to excelerate. When that the planet we live on is alive and we are killing it slowly. Look at all the plants and animals that are now gone forever and how many are on the brink of being gone.
Do you have any more to add?

Are people getting stupider or is intelligence just getting spread out among the world rather than being concentrated in one or a few nations?

If you believe something to be true, or maybe even know it, and you were not capable of being able to be persuaded that it was in fact NOT true. Would that suggest that you illogically hold on to its truth?

For Example

I know the world is a sphere. however, I could be convinced otherwise if there was enough evidence, such as i simply take a journey and see the edge. or maybe my believe can be shaken by seeing some photographs of the world being flat from a satellite and they are verified to be accurate by NASA.

Something along those lines.
